I always see South Los 13 graffitti on this block and they are always crossing out the Hoovers. Im curious if this homicide is somehow related to the current beef between the two gangs

Because my tax dollars were paying for this good samaritan's incarceration, I say I'm my total right to pass judgement. I don't need to know him, to know that he wasn't incarerated for helping grandma cross the street. We all have an idea of what kinds of things he must've been up to. Come on, have some common sense.

@ meck: well guess wat my tax dollars were paying for his incarceration too but who am I to pass judgment?? Who r u?? Nobody! Let God do the judging so how about u have some common sense and stop talking about a dead person because at the end of the day we're all humans and make mistakes!!

If we don't judge, how can we decide what is right and wrong in society? I am a law-abiding citizen, that's who I am. I stay away from trouble, so that I don't end up on this report. Yes, we all make mistakes, but we learn from them. How many mistakes did this guy make? Apparently he didn't learn from any of them. BTW, this blog, is so that we can make comments on the deceased and their stories.

— kay; a failure to judge and condemn sociopathic behavior is tacit approval of such.
God gaveus brains and he expects us to use it!
